So since getting sick over a year ago I've developed swollen Lymph nodes in my neck. Now I know this is very common in ME/CFS. However most people I encounter have painful lymph nodes that come and go. Their lymph nodes are also usually enlarged on both sides of their neck. My swollen Lymph nodes are only on the left side of my neck and are never painful. They never were in the first place. They recently increased in size and I'm not sure why. My lymphocytes on blood tests have consistently been higher than normal.
I think I briefly mentioned them to my doctor a while ago but because of so many symptoms of ME/CFS I didn't make it a big deal nor was I concerned with it really. Now it's come to my attention that mono and other viruses give you an increased chance of developing lymphoma. And usually lymphoma presents as painless swollen Lymph nodes accompanied by fatigue and weight loss - both of which ME/CFS sufferers experience. I don't know if I should pursue this with my doctors or if it's just classic ME symptoms.
